[Intro] D [Verse] D It is opening day and G A a brand new start D The stores are bein' cleared around G A the fishermen's huts D And the air bites the leaves, G A G A almost invisible cuts on the skin D A lighthouse retired, but G A a new one was hired D Abound twenty foot tall and G A painted in black and white D Twenty million steps with G A a computer inside G A instead of him [Chorus] G D A Only one boat sign, D A Bm didn't cost to slow down G A D And a long drop in the ocean G D A Beware of the riptide, D A Bm broken glass and train rides G A D It's a new day and this is England [Verse] D Next to the park with the flag G A that's workin' flexible hours D 'Cause there's a mismatch of carriages sorted G A in a boat of sunflowers D Fairy lights on a building G A that's supplyin' us power G A from the sea D Electricity lines flow like G A veins to the town D G In-between there's nothing but grass and A pebbles on the ground D Do not answer the wild here G A if you want to be G A found for the free [Chorus] G D A View the famous sunrise cutting D A Bm half by the sky G A D And the empty of the desert G D A Team of birds that swerve by and D A Bm the land on the horizon G A D It's a new day and this is England [Bridge] Em When it's time to escape from G the heavier things D A There is nothin' like washin' away Em I find this country of mine G get some bad reputation D A Of being cold and grey Em But on the coast this south to G the east follow ground D A I find serenity I've never found Em There's a peace, enough quiet G in the silent bars D A That can't be mirrored by anywhere else [Verse] D Homes protruding from stones with G A their wood-coloured black D It's got a car in the line, G G steam risin' out the shaft D One door at the front and G A then just glass at G A the back for the view [Chorus] G D A And the blue is so bright, you'll need D A Bm shades for your eyes G A D And the cable to pull over G D A Take a walk and feel light, D A Bm everything will be fine G A D It's a new day and this is England
